Description
Plaintiff Interstate Material Corporation ("Interstate") challenges the district courts order that, pursuant to Colorado River Water Conservation Dist. v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 47 L. Ed. 2d 483, 96 S. Ct. 1236, denied Interstates motion to dissolve the stay of federal proceedings pending the resolution of a parallel action in state court. The decision to stay federal proceedings because of concurrent state litigation remains one committed to the discretion of the district court. Will v. Calvert Fire Insurance Co., 437 U.S. 655, 665, 57 L. Ed. 2d 504, 98 S. Ct. 2552. Thus the only question on appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion. Lumen Constr., Inc. v. Brant Constr. Co., Inc., 780 F.2d 691, 695 (7th Cir. 1985). We hold that it did not and affirm the judgment.
